Chapter 38: Killing Too Early
"So, this battle for supremacy in the world will actually only unfold between Tie Butian and Diwu Qingrou! The person Diwu Qingrou fears the most is, without a doubt, Tie Butian! Therefore, no matter what, he would rather take a roundabout way than not eliminate Tie Butian first!"
"Our task is to protect Tie Butian's life because we have come from Great Zhao. Once Tie Butian dies, we would be the prime suspects and would be the first to be eliminated by Iron Cloud Nation for revenge. Great Zhao will never allow us, the traitors, to survive."
Chu Yang finished his analysis in one breath, then realized that all the focus was on one person: Tie Butian!
A young man, only seventeen or eighteen years old, had become the thorn in the eye and the flesh of a legendary figure like Diwu Qingrou! Just how monstrous must this youth be?
In his previous life, Chu Yang only knew that Tie Butian had been assassinated at Kaitian Gorge and that he was highly revered; he had never cared much about such matters, merely hearing about them was enough. But now that he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine!
A person who could stand toe-to-toe with Diwu Qingrou at just seventeen or eighteen!
Absolutely not an easy opponent!
This made Chu Yang recall the legendary figure of the previous generation, the limitless blade Liu Yongxiang, who had become a legendary martial sage while still alive, much like the exceptionally talented Diwu Qingrou!
There was also the evil young master, Ao Xieyun, who wreaked havoc in the martial arts world at such a young age! And the mysterious woman, Jun Xizhu, who dominated the dark side of the martial arts world!
These people, along with Tie Butian and Diwu Qingrou, must be the kind of geniuses that appear only once in a thousand years!
Fortunately, they were scattered across three different places! Otherwise, it was uncertain what kind of chaos they would bring to this world...
"There's one more thing you've overlooked," Wu Yunliang said, looking at him with appreciation. "As long as we help Tie Butian defeat Diwu Qingrou, we will be credited for the support, equivalent to founding ministers! Our Sky Tower can rise in one fell swoop! Moreover, if handled properly, we can eliminate all hidden dangers for Sky Tower during this period!"
Chu Yang let out a bitter laugh, defeating Diwu Qingrou? How easy could that be! Diwu Qingrou had never suffered a defeat, whether in political or martial situations!
To defeat him... would be difficult. As Chu Yang thought this, he became alert: Wu Yunliang was right. Since he had decided to defy fate, confronting Diwu Qingrou was essential!
If he continued to hold onto the belief that Diwu Qingrou was unbeatable, defeat was certain!
He must win! At the very least, he needed to ensure Tie Butian's survival and thoroughly dismantle Diwu Qingrou's plans! He had to take fate into his own hands!
Regardless of whether it was Sky Tower, Tan Tan, or his master.
And also Qing Wu!
Lost in thought, he heard Wu Yunliang sigh and say, "Speaking of this matter, Chu Yang, you have made a grave mistake! The error you made has completely disrupted my original plan! It's even impossible to proceed as it stands."
Chu Yang was taken aback and asked, "What? I made a mistake?" He thought to himself, I haven't done anything. How did I suddenly become so heinous?
"You killed Stone Thousand Mountain! You killed him too early!" Wu Yunliang sighed deeply. "Stone Thousand Mountain was an indispensable part of my plan!"
Chu Yang raised an eyebrow. "Stone Thousand Mountain?"
"Indeed, although Stone Thousand Mountain is cunning and treacherous at heart, he appears composed and mature on the surface. Moreover, he is skilled at reading people's expressions and flattering others. While I may hold some disdain for this disciple, he is indeed a good candidate for navigating the political landscape." Wu Yunliang sighed again.
"Navigating the political landscape?" Chu Yang was shocked. What does this have to do with the political arena?
